funny (if not necessarily "passive-aggressive") notes from pissed-off people

(We don’t speak dog)

“About five months ago,” writes Catherine in Massachusetts, a new tenant moved in and began a new exercise regime: running back and forth in the building hallways. “His/her gait is rather lumbering and resonates throughout our apartment,” Catherine says. “We were startled at first, but have come to giggle over this frequent disruption. Apparently, one of our neighbors isn’t laughing.”

From there, things began to escalate. “Fortunately,” Catherine says, the ensuing flame war “just goes to show that most of our neighbors have a great sense of humor.”

Wow, running back and forth in the hallways? That is a new one. I lived in various apartments for about a decade and depending on the structure of the apartment complex, that could be really annoying and loud. I was so glad when we saved enough for a down on a house so we would not be submitted to the odd behaviors of others(at least, the neighbors are several feet away versus several inches). In any case, all the notes are great.

There was a faculty member at my local community college who used to use the 3rd floor as their running track on Saturdays after classes were over. He was a bit of an odd bird.

As for the string of notes… They are full of awesome. I am most impressed with the fact that all of the note leavers made a very good effort at keeping the same spacing, punctuation, and even the centered text the same across all the notes. That also makes me wonder if all of the notes weren’t left by the same person.

I came home to my new apartment yesterday to find a man fervently going about sit-ups on the landing on a yoga mat. I thought ‘good on him. I should do some sit-ups too’. As for running in the hallway, I’d take it one step further and progressively add in obstacles. Then I’d invite everyone in the building to participate in ‘hallympics’.

Doing sit-ups in the hallway doesn’t really disturb anybody unless he won’t move if he’s in the way of people who want to pass.

And while scheduled hallympics are a fun way to foster community, impromptu noisy rough-housing isn’t. People work shifts, have to study and/or work at home so they have every right to expect peace and quiet while they’re there.

I bet that the person that wrote the first rant is a parent with a baby or toddler, based on quite a few funny STFU Parents blog posts about disrupted naps.

Personally, this sort of thing is why I live in a single-family suburban house rather than an apartment; I can’t filter noise out and have over-powered hearing, so it wouldn’t take long for me to totally lose it. I’d probably leave the noisy neighbor a timidly polite note asking to jog a floor up/down (or do it during different hours) so it wouldn’t get to me.

I get annoyed with my neighbors’ kids just for every now and again screaming their heads off and running around the porch. If it were constant, I can see why someone would get irritated enough to leave a PA note… though I think getting the property manager involved before even trying to communicate is definitely going overboard.

It is rude to use the hallways as a gym. If you’re doing noisy exercises (lifting weights, running in place, whatever), that’s usually not appropriate for an apartment (unless you’re on the bottom floor). Either use the supplied gym in the apartment building or go to a gym. Or stop living in the wrong place for what you want to do.

I’m team “stop running”, too, but you obviously have never lived in an apartment building.

I lived in one for as short a period as I possibly could get away with, because I simply didn’t have the money for a house. I live in one of the most expensive cost-of-living states in the nation, so most of the people who live in apartments around here haven’t “chosen” that way of life, they just can’t afford any better yet.

Yeah, the “please nark on them to the office” bit was a bit juvenile, but the basic note was fine (how could they “speak to the runner directly about the issue like adults” when they didn’t know who it was?)

ETA: Several comments below suggested opening the door to have a look who was doing it. Granted, I was imagining them running on a different floor, but still, I’m a bit slow…

I was thinking to myself, “why didn’t they just open their door to see who was running in the hall?” It didn’t occur to me that the runner might have been on another floor, but that actually makes more sense.

Does the original note writer really need to unleash the apartment-building Gestapo to try to identify the culprit? If it’s important for him to know who’s doing it so that management may deal with it because he wants to avoid the confrontation, couldn’t he just go and investigate himself? Like, open his door? I can just picture him sitting in his apartment in the dark, save the light from his computer monitor, cursing the running and saying, I’ll show him. Oh, I WILL SHOW HIM. [print]

To everyone else – If you are as annoyed as I am at soulless disembodied voice telling me to buy crap, please tell the webpage owner whatever you know about these evil talking ads. They want to talk to them.

I have no idea why someone would leave a note out like this in the first place for this situation. If someone running in the hallway is bothering you, then open your door when you hear it and ask if they can jog elsewhere. He/she probably isn’t aware that his/her running is making as much noise as it is.

I once had new neighbors move in across the street who – according to my roommates – would turn up their bass so high that things in our apartment would rattle. The first time it happened when I was home (and yeah, things really were rattling!), I walked outside of my apartment and other tenets were standing outside as well, grumbling about “how rude” the neighbors were being, but weren’t actually doing anything about it other than complaining. I walked across the street, knocked on the door, and asked if they’d turn the bass down (noise level was fine, only bass was too high). They apologized, said sure, and we never had a problem with it again.

Point: Not everyone does dickish things to be dickish – half the time, they don’t know it’s bothering you if you don’t tell them. And it’s a lot easier (and quicker to resolve) to let them know in person than to leave a childish note.

I think sometimes it’s just a matter of safety or convenience. I commute and it’s too dark to go out after getting home, preparing dinner, etc. My husband isn’t home until midnight, so there’s no going to the gym after my son goes to bed. I can kind of understand jogging up and down a hallway to get a workout.

I am a tenant in this hallway. I took the signs down and brought then to the office because I saw this escalating and didn’t want to live in the warzone. One correction – the new tenant isn’t exercising in the hallway: His dog needs to get a run in and the guy runs down the hallway to the elevator, and back to his apartment with the dog. There is no man in short shorts with a head band doing laps of the hallway, I assure you.

I had a hallway runner in my apartment building too. And apparently the person had running friends and would sometimes run with a couple of people. They did this on the main floor so that noise wasn’t bad, but people complained to management because they kept scaring and/or bumping into people as they ran around the corners.

And this happens not just in rental buildings. The majority of my building is owned.

"The thing that drives me bonkers at work is to open up the trash can drawer and see a cup half-full of water that was carefully placed into the trash can so it doesn't spill--in a trash can an arm's length away from the kitchen sink!

99% of the people in my office are college graduates, probably toward the top of their class. But some without enough common sense to pour the water in the sink before putting the cup into the trash can.
